Carl Alvis McLemore recalled the following story that his grandmother, Ada Wallace Gordon, related to him about her older sister's tragic death at the age of nine:
Lizzie and Ada were both outside playing with their Moma cooking inside and Papa and brothers in the field. It was in the fall around October because the persimmons were ripe on the tree and Lizzie was getting some for them to eat. Lizzie told her sister "Look Ada there's a big one !! that's mine!!" and reached out to get it and the tree limb cracked and broke.The limb didn't break off but Lizzie fell and broke her neck. Moma Mac said she gasped and died right there in front of her. Moma Mac ran to get her mother and her father from the field but nothing could be done for Lizzie. Moma Mac said her Papa cut down that persimmon tree, and that she would never forget that event as long as she lived.
